Hi,

Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. There are two slots, so you can add a 4GB stick of DDR4 2133Mhz RAM

You can get from your preferred brand such as Crucial, Samsung...

On page 50 of service manual you can see the steps to upgrade the RAM:

http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c05493257

It will most likely increase the performance some.

 

What you could also upgrade which would give a noticeable performance boost is the hard drive, You could replace the mechanical hard drive in your notebook with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the 2.5" Samsung 860 Evo or similar.

On page 53 of the service manual, you can see how to replace the drive.

 

Hope it helps,

David
